Gas too darn high!

If you didn't watch Huckabee last night, he nailed it.
Is it true every cloud has a silver lining?
If so, while ga$ prices are up, might be
good time to get one of the last V-8
Challenger or Chargers at a di$count!
Then again, the turbo inline six replacement
sounds interesting too.
Saw a vid last night guys going to dealership
to ck out an SRT Durango advertised for $93K
Got there, dealer had msrp plus $40K markup
on all their vehicles. So the Durango was $133K
Same markup on $50K Mustangs. Glad i don't
need a new vehicle (knock on head)

Same ole bait and switch tactics
Even the base model KIA Soul has a $4000 ‘availability’ markup due to short supplies.
That’s 20% of msrp.
The hail you say!
Also found out they switched (2018-2019?)
to a CVT type tranny instead of the 6 spd auto
they had previously. Base LX doesn't even offer
a manual anymore so unless a higher trim level
offers a manual guess it's IVT or nuthin'. Think
I'd rather have nuthin'.
So...The Senate and the House has been unified more times under Republican control than Democrats...and there have been more Republican presidents than democrats last time I checked.
The Govt has been unified (senate and house) 47 times since 1857, 22 democratic control, 25 republican.
Unfortunately, my wife did not see it that way!
I've got four reasons to keep using fossil fuel. Three get me and my family around town, one cuts my grass. I suppose I could drop $70-$80K on electric cars to have a better environmental impact and let China rape the Earth for lithium.... But then again, how does the power get to the car again?
Well, there's a little from solar (components mined from China, not great if it's cloudy, ACRES clear cut for the panels), a little from hydroelectric (keeps Salmon from spawning, not everyone lives near mountains), some from wind (which kills migratory birds and bats), and a little from nuclear (which is clean and safe, using today's technology, but it takes about a million years to get a permit to build one), but most still comes from fossil fuels, and will for the foreseeable future.
I, and probably most of the people on this board, benefit from oil. I'd be willing to bet almost everyone with a 401k owns some stock in one of those evil oil companies.
I'm also glad those displaced workers who lost their jobs because the U.S. Government "changed it's mind" have been offered lateral jobs with new energy. "Hey, you don't mind moving to a totally different state, do you? Here's your 'free' re-education - no, seriously, NO ONE has to pay for it. It's FREE, man. What do you mean you're two years from retirement and like doing now and like living where you live? Well, we changed our mind."
You missed what I said. "...zero reason to continue fossil fuel expansion" the keyword is expansion. I agree that fossil fuels will continue and there's no immediate replacement. They still cause a lot of damage so my point is it's better to cause that damage to other countries, rather than our own. It's cheaper to import, preserves America, and keeps our unmined oil in reserve.
